Very cute Brant.

I am up in the Upper Peninsula this week. The snow melt has really caused some flooding and many swollen streams. Here is one that is usually no more than a trickly.

Perhaps it's the warmth in the air. Perhaps it's the new job. Perhaps it's just seeing my green children didn't die after a long, long, winter, but I have pictures... that aren't of Bella, or the dogs. I can't explain it. Luckily a picture is worth a thousand words, so I don't have to.

Pat...great falls. I think I remember a previous shot and the flow was ~1/4 of that. Great thing about waterfalls, they change each time you go back to them.

David...glad things are thawing out. Great set of spring photos!

A couple more from the U.P.. This a waterfall that usually does not have much more that a trickle (which you can not see), but with the snow run off and flooding, it has a good flow to it. The first one is with a 100-400mm L with a 1.4X-II, the second one is with just the 100-400mm L.

Haven't posted anything in a while...here are some recent shots from a 3 day backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail in Great Smoky Mountains NP. This was the first week in April. There was still as much as 6-7 inches of snow on the ground at higher elevations. Scenery was still a pretty brown since trees hadn't really started filling in, which was kind of disappointing, but I still got a few good shots.

And a couple shots from Illiniwek Forest Preserve in Hampton, IL. I can't remember where, but I had seen someone post some trail photos like this that I really liked, so I was trying to replicate that. The lens flare was added in Photoshop.

Sorry...a few more. I'm way behind in my sharing

These are from the Chicago Auto Show in February. I found this to be a kind of challenging environment for me. I am used to mostly outdoor photography with very few people around. Trying to take pictures with a million people shuffling by everywhere was kind of flustering. Not to mention I wasn't used to taking pictures in that type of lighting.

Nice cross section of shots of shots Sam.

Went to a vintage soap box derby yesterday, a lot of fun.

@ Jonathan...another great photo. You must have a really good camera

You're right --- I do! That bear shot is exactly why I got the 1DX. Great low-light performance, fast focus, and fast frame rate. Animals typically only show up at dawn and dusk, and vanish whenever the light is good. I'm pretty happy with what this toy can do.

I went to a Northern Illinois University baseball game recently and wanted to share this 5 photo set of a grounder to 3rd.

He barely beat it out, SAFE! The 6D seemed to perform reasonably well for my use in this game.

Thanks for viewing.
